Are EBay And Newspapers Nearing A Truce?
InformationWeek
"There's no doubt there's still a perception of enmity between newspapers and the Internet world," says Ronald Dupont Jr., general manager of the Times' Internet department. "We're now getting to a position where we're not afraid of Internet companies. We're saying, 'Hey, we can team with them.'"
While eBay is pleased with the additional promotion, the papers are excited about the boost for classified sales. "Most newspapers on the planet are losing classified ads, and we have a chance to turn this around," Dupont says. "They get the sustained marketing that only a newspaper can give." Analysts say eBay is likely to make similar deals with more papers.
